"I never knew that you had a twin brother. Murad never talked about him."

"Murad is afraid of revolts. Back in the days before my late father was Sultan, Sultans upon getting crowned would kill their brothers and their male children to avoid revolts. But my late father was against that rule, so he could protect his young brother Mustafa. Though it was hard at first, he managed to keep his promise. After my late father died, Mustafa ascended the throne but soon he was replaced by my Half-brother Osman. Osman got killed in a yeniçeri revolt and Mustafa became Sultan once more but was replaced by Murad. Ibrahim is still in his kafes but my brother might kill him as Murad and Valide do not have a good relationship right now. Ibrahim is so innocent and scared of death, that he has constant headaches and nightmares."

"That is so sad...Is there anything that he likes doing? Like writing poems or reading books? I want to gift him something!"

"Well...He likes books and flowers."

"Ah, yes
